Limited-time offer: 40% more Hilton Honors points (so 1 MR = 2.8 Honors) until 24 November 2026; ratio_value shows the standard 1:2. ALL Accor joined 13 May 2026 at 3:1 (Points Well Made). Etihad Guest left 22 June 2026. Singapore KrisFlyer was once dropped by Amex UK and later restored (AwardWallet); it is on the official list now at 3:2.

Sources: americanexpress.com, americanexpress.com, pointswellmade.co.uk, insideflyer.com, awardwallet.com. Ratios change; check your Amex transfer page before you move points. Transfers can't be undone.
